This package provides a convenient python API for accessing various properties
of elements, ions and isotopes in the periodic table of elements.

Moreover it provides an easy to use interface to pandas
and convenient visualization functionality through bokeh
that enables you to create customized periodic tables displaying various properties.

The mendeleev package also supplies convenient tools for dealing with electronic configurations, calculating
functions of atomic properties, exploring the periodic trends in the periodic tables. If you want
to look at some examples there are a few tutorials
available as jupyter notebooks.

Interactive web app

If you would like to explore the data available in mendeleev
check out the interactive web app at mendeleev.herokuapp.com
where you can create your own periodic tables and visualize the relations between various properties
of elements.

Data

A comprehensive list of the available data together with appropriate references are available in the
documentation. Here the most important entries are listed:

Tables and the database

mendeleev offers also methods for accessing whole tables of data, e.g. table
with the data on all isotopes and methods for interacting directly with the
database engine, for more details see the API documentation
and this tutorial.

CLI utility

For those who work in the terminal there is a simple command line interface
(CLI) for printing the information about a given element. The script name is
element.py and it accepts either the symbol or name of the element or it's
atomic number as an argument and prints the data about it. For example, to
print the properties of silicon type
